Laguna Tebenquiche is a saltwater lagoon located in the Atacama Desert near San Pedro de Atacama in Chile's Antofagasta Region. It is a popular destination for guided tours, often visited in combination with other nearby saline features like Laguna Cejar and Ojos del Salar. The lagoon is situated within a striking desert landscape, characterized by vast salt flats and dramatic mountain backdrops, creating a stark and spectacular aesthetic. Access to the lagoon requires an entry fee of approximately 15,000 Chilean Pesos (about 20 USD). The area can be reached by bicycle from San Pedro de Atacama, with the ride to Laguna Tebenquiche being roughly 10 kilometers from the preceding Laguna de Tebinquinche. A designated out-and-back trail leads to the lagoon, covering 1.9 miles with an elevation gain of 104 feet, typically taking between 30 minutes to one hour to complete on foot. The overall character of the experience is one of remote desert exploration, focused on the unique geological and scenic features of the high-altitude salt flats.
